Barmania Lawyers is a small law firm in downtown Toronto, founded in 2007 by Ismail Barmania and Nadine Barmania. The two co-founders followed a similar path: both earned a Bachelor of Arts with honours from Trent University in 1988 and a law degree from the University of Toronto in 1991, and both were called to the Bar of Ontario in 1993.
The firm represents individuals and small to medium sized businesses in personal injury and insurance claims, family law, estate planning and administration, employment law, and corporate law. Ismail Barmania's practice centers on personal injury litigation, including motor vehicle, slip and fall, and occupier's liability claims, along with insurance disputes and estate planning; a Certified Financial Planner designation obtained in 1999 supports that estate planning work, along with health law and regulatory matters for healthcare corporations. Nadine Barmania's practice covers family law matters such as custody, support, and separation agreements, alongside personal injury claims, medical negligence, and negotiated settlements. The office sits on The Esplanade in Toronto's Distillery District, in the city's east downtown core.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Barmania Lawyers' office is on The Esplanade in Toronto's Distillery Historic District, a National Historic Site of Canada that preserves more than 40 Victorian era industrial buildings from the former Gooderham and Worts distillery, once the largest in the British Empire. The district mixes restored 19th century brick warehouses with newer condominiums, giving this end of downtown a distinct, historic character that sets it apart from the high rise financial core a few blocks north.
